MY BELOVED OFFICER✔

JEALOUS PUSH

KEERTHANA

We were waiting for Vikram to come in the station. Atlast, the train came and stopped. All people were rushing to meet their loved ones. I lost my way. My in-laws were searching for me.

A woman was rushing like she was running in a marathon. She just gave me a big push. I was about to fall but I found myself supporting a huge figure. I held my hands on his arms. My head hit his stone-like chest.

I looked up slowly to see the Greek God. He was none other than Vikram. Atlast it was him. What if it was someone else?

"Sorry." I moved back. He was glaring at me. My in-laws came and saw us. We were talking there standing for some time and we headed home.

I sat next to Vikram in the car. He was so stiff. He was talking to others except me. We reached home and Vikram's grandma and Tyson was waiting for him. Tyson jumped on him and locked his face. Vikram patted him and went to his grandma.

They hugged each other. So lovely. We carried on with our work and I found Vikram glaring at a picture hanging on the wall. It was our picture. Our wedding picture. Us alone standing in an 'attention' position pretending to be smiling.

He sighed and went inside the room. Again he was standing outside and observing the room. I changed it completely.  It was so old-fashioned. "What is it you have done to my precious room?"

Same dialogue of my father. "Vikram please. Don't start your motor. It looks good now. It was so old before.  It looked like as if we are living in 50s." He was angry. He shut the door so hardly on my face.

Irritating, annoying and arrogant officer!! How can he do like that? What if he smashed my face? I went to parlour recently and spent Rs.5000!!!! For my face.

I came and sat on the sofa. My mother-in-law called for lunch. We had lunch and still Vikram did not come. We waited for him but he did not turn up. I finished my lunch and opened the door.

He was sitting on the bed and scrolling the phone. He was sitting with shock and amazement. He saw me and went to the restroom. He washed his face and went out for lunch. Never seen an awkward person in my life.

VIKRAM

Keerthana changed everything. Everything. Every single thing. In my house. She mingled with my family like her own. She made my family even more energetic.  You willbe thinking that I am praising her. But I am not.

She made everyone her side!! Very bad. I shared all my feelings to my mom. About the room. She supported her. Not fair. I did not like anyone touching my things. My mom knew it and she supported her.

This is kiddish but still... You know. But I diverted myself with another thought. My school reunion. Our batch. It's gonna happen next week. My friends knew that I am married and they told me to come along with Keerthana.

Oh man, how is it she charming everyone? I need to say this to her. I can make excuse but my friends told me that there is no need to come without her. They are married too and they are also bringing their spouses.

I went to my room. Keerthana was reading a book with her legs stretched. I cleated my throat. "Mm.."  She responded with her eyes still concentrating on the book.

"My friends invited us for school reunion. They told you to come."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"You should come with me."

"Why?"

"My friends told me to come with you and without you, they won't let me inside."

"Then you don't go." She said as she was closed the book and walked out casually.
